Cliff Richard - A Little In Love

   This might be of interest to some:

Both of the CD sources for Cliff Richard - A Little In Love listed in the database contain the 45 version.

The LP version runs approximately 3:40.

To edit the LP version to the 45 length (if you have an import CD with the album version & not one with the 45 edit, I guess!) there's one edit, 2:44 - 2:59, right on the beat as the words, "you are!" are sung.

The 45 edit may fade about :06 seconds earlier than the album version; I'm working with CD copies of the single and the album versions so I can't guarantee times to the vinyl originals.  My version came out to 3:20.

To my knowledge, the album version is only available on import CDs, I'm sure the result of Cliff's massive popularity in the U.K. while he's almost considered a one-hit wonder in the States.

I hope this helps someone!

	I really enjoy that song. I was reading your Genesis - "Tonight..." post and thinking about how sometimes I perform edits from memory. I did just that in this case with Cliff Richard, where I used the upbeat snare right after the "you are" that you mention. Mine aren't sloppy though - I'm a good little editor (patting myself on the head)....lol. On one case with Genesis' "No Reply At All", I thought I remembered hearing the refrain before the last verse edited out (perhaps on the radio in 1981). So what I did was take the drum and horns at 1:49 - 1:52, and repeated them the second time at 2:42. I actually was proud of it, and I really prefer the edit to the 45. But I understand it's not a genuine recreation.
	Cheers, Jody Thornton (Richmond Hill, Ontario)

	Jody - You probably knew there was a 12" promo for "No Reply At All". Here's info: NO REPLY AT ALL (Long/Short Version) - Genesis Taken from A/B-sides of Atlantic 12" PR 404, 1981 (printed 4:37/4:00) Actual run times are 4:37/3:56.

	What made the edit so painfully obvious on the Cliff Richard tune is that when putting it into an editor alongside the album version, it is a perfect sync UNTIL that beat when suddenly there's a ping-pong effect between the 45 & album versions. :) Listening to the 45 by itself you might not pick it up... with a metronome, it's VERY clear.

	my commercial 45 issued as emi america 8068 for the cliff richard song "a little in love" states the run time on the label as 3:23 and does indeed run that length and is slightly sped up and longer than the so called 45 version listed on the below cd (S) (3:21) Razor & Tie 2039 Collection 1970-1994 (45 version) if it's a clean edit as nightaire says, then the true 45 can be had by editing the full length album version and then upping the pitch.....does anyone have the ablum version that they could sne me a wave file of to compare?

	The actual LP running is (3:40), the listed time is "3:38" on the record label. (title "I'm No Hero" EMI America SW-17039) There's no run time info for the LP in the db. Please add it to the db. Also in the vinyl material, the 45 version is slightly faster than the edit of the LP version. --abagon
